My Conservative Conference Diary

I've had a couple of people email to ask if I am going to be speaking at any fringe meetings at the Tory Conference. So in an effort to drum up an audience for those events, here are the ones I am speaking at or chairing. Here goes..

Please also do come and visit the Total Politics exhibition stand, where we will be handing out copies of the magazine, together with the packs of the Sky News Top Trumps cards. The stand is in the ICC Hall 3, number 78.

Brown is on Sky News now saying that it is essential that the rescue plan in the US is implemented to rebuild confidence in the US economy.

Hello Gordon! Are you on this planet? His opinion on the US economy is worthless and not worth a bucket urine. Brown's view of economics is the equivalent of Junk bonds. UK best placed to weather the economic storm blah.... blah... blah. Brown obviously thinks the whole population is as stupid as his Brown nosed, smelly breathed advisors!

So Iain-you think you will get any constructive comment from Cochrant??

All you WILL get will be his usual anti SNP ranting and raving!

Not a very good choice of panellists methinks??

All you will get from Cochrant is much heat and no light!

If you had some INTELLIGENT folks on the panel, I may well have listened to what COULD have been a constructive and illuminating discussion-as it is, life is too short to waste on this episode!Try harder next time Iain!

I trust there will be a full report on the Scot Free meeting Iain. As one of the few campaigners for an English Parliament who still hopes i tmight be within the Union I am interested in the Conservative stance.If the feeling is that Scotland can yet be bought, but at an even higher price, I will probably join the English independence movement.

Air freighted food? 30 years ago, if you told your dinner guests that their mange tout was flown in from Kenya, they would be impressed and be on the phone to Fortnum's the next day. Actually no. In 1978 nobody had heard of eating empty pea pods. So if you said, " I have had these empty pea pods flown in from Kenya (pron. Keeen Yah) they might have thought you were a bit bacon and lentil.

So. Somebody grows these empty pea pods and puts them in a little custom made plastic tray, and shrink wraps them and then flies them over 4000 miles, (about an eight hour flight)to somewhere in the UK

I am not a sandal wearing unwashed eco warrior, but, this is a no brainer.

Just out of interest does Martin Day want Bush to go with his instincts and let this Bonfire of the Vanities reach spontaneous combustion?

Or is he too glad there is an election on and that market dimwittery and greed is being propped up?

I'm not over the moon about it as when banks starting propping up stocks and buying currency beyond day to day norms they are gonna to be enriching, or saving from deserved penury, gamblers who got their bets wrong.

Unless they were betting on a big bail out that is.

But it does need to be done. And Brown has been looking on the money to coin a phrase.
